Drama students to stage “Little Shop of Horrors” on Halloween

LISBON — Lisbon High School Drama Club will present “Little Shop of Horrors!” on Friday through Sunday, Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.

“Little Shop of Horrors” follows the misadventures of Seymour, a down-and-out floral assistant who longs to get the girl of his dreams and escape life on skid row. He becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood.

Soon “Audrey II” grows into an ill-tempered, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination.

Laced with dark humor and music, “Little Shop of Horrors” is one of the longest-running off-Broadway shows.
